Ottawa parliamentarian Joel Harden has called on the mayor to support an investigation into the Confederation Line LRT, questioning the use of the P3 model on the deal.
Harden is seeking an investigation by the auditor general into the ongoing halt to the Confederation Line after a derailment on September 19.
He is now calling on Ontario Premier Doug Ford to support that call, arguing that the derailment is “only the latest in a string of failures” on the line.
The Ottawa LRT is being delivered under a P3 contract and Harden claimed the model “is failing the people of Ottawa who are stuck paying the price and still waiting for their train”.
